Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: July 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Rowenta RR8227WH X-Plorer Serie 45

  • Equipped with a robust, highly efficient motorized turbo brush and two side brushes that do a great job cleaning corners and along walls.
  • Reliable infrared and drop sensors effectively prevent the robot from bumping into furniture or falling down stairs.
  • User-friendly smartphone app (for iOS and Android) with high data security as all data is stored strictly within Europe.
  • Compatible with voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for hands-free operation.
  • Offers practical cleaning modes, including an Auto Express mode for quick 30-minute cleans and a Wall-Follow mode.
  • Good battery life of up to $150$ minutes, capable of cleaning up to $150$ square meters on a single charge.

What customers don't like about Rowenta RR8227WH X-Plorer Serie 45

  • Random navigation mode can be less efficient than systematic, laser-guided (LIDAR) vacuums, occasionally causing it to miss spots or take longer to cover a room.
  • May struggle on thicker, high-pile rugs and carpets (rated for carpets up to $15$ mm thick).
  • Does not feature hybrid mopping capabilities; strictly a vacuuming device.
  • Requires manual disentanglement of long hair or threads from the brush roll over time.

Verdict

The Rowenta RR8227WH X-Plorer Serie 45 is a 3-in-1 robot vacuum cleaner featuring a 1,200 Pa suction motor, a motorized central turbo brush, and dual side brushes optimized for corners and hard floors. Measuring 80 mm in height with a 0.44-liter dust capacity, it utilizes infrared, bumper, and fall sensors to run a random navigation system across three cleaning modes: Auto, Auto Express, and Wall-Follow. Prominent advantages include a long-lasting lithium-ion battery delivering up to 150 minutes of runtime per charge, comprehensive Wi-Fi connectivity via a dedicated smartphone app, and integration with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. However, significant drawbacks include a lengthy 6-hour recharge cycle, suboptimal performance on thick carpets or dense pet hair, and basic random navigation that lacks advanced LiDAR room mapping or self-emptying functionality.
